“I am absolutely happy with the service that Allsup, Brett Buchanan and his entire team gave me. I would have never been able to deal with the VA by myself. No one can. I’ve already referred five or six veterans to your VA service, and I’ll continue to do so because of your expertise in veterans’ disability issues.”

“I can’t say enough about the way Joe and Brett treated me. The information they provided me was invaluable, and their knowledge of the VA system was out of this world. I can’t say enough good things about them—they were awesome!”

“I can’t say enough about how Brett and his team helped me work with my VA disability claim. They were just excellent and so professional. I have trouble getting organized these days, but Brett went to the hearing with me and did everything that needed to be done. I was so impressed with Allsup that I’ve already referred several other veterans, including my brother, who served in Vietnam.”

With VA Disability Benefits, You Benefit

True Help can guide your way through the VA disability appeal process and give you a better chance at claiming valuable benefits like these.

The VA uses a rating schedule that determines which disabilities you receive benefits for and the percentage to which they are disabling. The range for disability compensation is from 0% to 100%, with higher percentages receiving higher benefit amounts. Our VA-accredited Claims Agents can provide more details on your claim when you contact us for appeal assistance.

Yes, it may be possible to receive both forms of income. Disabled veterans who are unable to work due to permanent disability can collect both Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits and VA benefits at the same time. We can help you coordinate multiple disability benefits.

Yes, you can. However, those with a high rating (like 100%) could encounter issues by working. This is because the VA considers a 100% rating as unable to work, and it may lead to the VA lowering your benefit rating if you work.

VA Disability Appeals

Our VA-accredited Claims Agents will provide a free disability appeal review. Our agents understand how to review the details of your claim, and they are experienced in preparing a thorough and accurate appeal so the VA can quickly and efficiently review your case and make a satisfactory decision.

When you appeal, you make a request to the VA for (1) a Decision Review Officer (DRO) at the VA local regional office to review an initial decision, or (2) the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA) to review a VA local regional office decision on your claim. Our VA-accredited Claims Agents can help you understand your options and begin the appeals process.

Unfortunately, there is a backlog of claims with the VA, so receiving veterans disability benefits can take a long time. On average, it takes an average of 120 days for your application to be reviewed and for you to receive a rating decision and be approved for benefits.

If you’re denied or want to file an appeal in the year following your initial decision, it takes an average of 24-48 months to receive another decision. It could take more than two years before you receive a final benefits decision.

The VA website reports that 75% of all first-time applications for VA benefits are denied. Initial applications are often denied because they are incomplete and do not provide the necessary documentation. One of our VA-accredited Claims Agent can help to further develop your claim with the appeal.
